overpressurizes
Inflates beyond capacity
Overpressurizes means to subject something to excessive pressure, beyond safe or intended limits.
The term appears in technical contexts—aerospace, diving, industrial systems—where pressure must be carefully controlled: The valve failed and overpressurized the tank.
A cabin that overpressurizes can cause structural damage or injury.
The word implies dangerous excess rather than mere increase.
